Ok that was a problem, I thought I did rewrite it and saved it but MATLAB kept using an older version for some reason. Figured that bit out now.
I've tried to incorporate loops to calculate how each body affects the acceleration of the planet, in the case of 3 bodies there's a for loop with 2...
Ok now the next problem is that when i put the state vectors into a column as below:
%Venus initial conditions
VX0 = 1.08e11; %Position X
VY0 = 0; %Position Y
VVX0 = 0; %Velocity X
VVY0 = 35000; %Velocity Y
%Earth intial conditions
EX0 = 1.496e11; %Position...
Thanks for the reply. I think I can manage most of that however what I don't know how to do is to calculate the gravitational attraction between a planet at a position and a planet at another position. Would I use a similar function to the one I had before? the mind boggles.
My vector...
Hello,
Ive got a problem in MATLAB and have searched the internet a lot for help with this but nothing really addresses my issue specifically.\. I wish to use the ode45 solver to calculate and plot the orbits of all the planets in the solar system. I can manage just fine to get them to go...

The first link has rankings and info on the universities, the second is a forum with similar questions as the one you have.
Thanks for the replies.
I intend to finish my degree so there's no problem there. I had considered biomedical engineering however wanted to keep my options open. Perhaps an electronic engineering degree and then later specialise in the masters years or something.
Mainly the prpoblem I am...
I am currently in my honours year of a biomedical science degree in Australia, currently working on my thesis. Recently I've decided I would like to study Aerospace engineering or electronic engineering but have a few problems. Firstly I feel at 23 years of age I am somewhat behind and feel like...
